The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. 

 had large consignments of seasonable 

 stock of extra fine quality last week. 



The Western Union Telegraph Co. had 

 a handsome flower-bedecked window, in 

 which was displayed a large sign: 

 "Flower orders telegraphed to any city 

 in the United States." 



Julius Koenig, eity forester, in a let- 

 ter to florists, is soliciting cooperation 

 in encouraging the planting of trees. 

 Mr. Koenig is chairman of the tree 

 planting committee. 



The Missouri Botanical Garden is us- 

 ing street car placards to advertise the 

 free tulip display at the garden. Su- 

 perintendent Ohlweiler says the bed of 

 30,000 tulips was a grand sight and at- 

 tracted thousands of visitors all the 

 week. 



J. J. Beneke has sold his lease of the 

 stand at 1216 Olive street, where he has 

 been, doing business since 1876. He 

 has retired from business. His plans 



for the future have not been definitely 

 settled. 



The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- 

 ciation will hold its regular monthly 

 meeting May 4, at the Eleven Mile 

 House. Secretary Deutschmann says he 

 is looking for a large attendance, as 

 Easter business will be the topic of the 

 evening. Other important business will 

 also be transacted. 



F. J. Ammann says I made a slip of 

 the pen when I said business prevented 

 his attendance at the National Flower 

 Show; the fact is, a little thing like 

 business would not keep Mr. Ammann 

 away from duty! The reason Mr. Am- 

 mann remained at home was that his 

 aged mother was critically ill in South 

 St. Louis. I am pleased to report she 

 now is much improved. J. J. B. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Though violets are scarce, there is 

 plenty of bulbous stock of good quality, 

 and sweet peas are in good condition. 

 Eoses and carnations are abundant and 



of good quality. Other stock of all 

 kinds is looking well. 



Various Notes. 



Julius, the Florist, has his new and 

 attractive refrigerator filled with a good 

 display of all kinds of flowers. He re- 

 ports business as being good. 



Frederick Reynolda. has opened an 

 attractive store in the Olympia theater 

 building, on Purchase street. 



The Easter display at the establish- 

 ment of William P. Peirce, on Pleasant 

 street, was splendid and one of the most 

 artistic in the city. 



E. M. Peirce, successor to Joseph V. 

 Peirce & Co., undoubtedly had the best 

 display of hyacinths in the city. The 

 other stock at his place on Cottage 

 street was of first-class quality. 



B. H. Woodhouse had the only violets 

 in the city. He expected to pick about 

 6,000 for Easter. 



William M. Post, formerly of Post & 

 Gray, now is in the employ of Edward 

 M. Peirce. 



Ernest Chamberlain had a good week 

 of funeral work.
